When the Anonymous Access Users feature is active, you can share content with users without requiring them to log in.
This also impacts how list sharing behaves, especially when restricted or non-public content is involved.
What are List Share Actions?
List Share Actions define what happens when you share a list, depending on:
Whether the content is restricted or unrestricted
Whether the recipient is an existing ONE user or an external email
Whether you choose to grant access during the process
List sharing scenarios
Here’s a breakdown of what happens in each scenario:
No restricted items in the list
Sharing to a ONE user
List sends immediately
All items are included in the share email
Sharing to an external email (non-ONE user)
List sends immediately
All items are included in the share email
List contains restricted items
Sharing to a ONE user
A confirmation screen is shown
You can choose whether to grant access
If access is granted → All items included
If access is not granted → Only unrestricted items included
Sharing to an external email (non-ONE user)
A confirmation screen is shown
You can choose whether to grant access
If access is granted → All items included
If access is not granted → Only unrestricted items included
Videos that are not public or restricted
Sharing to a ONE user
List sends immediately
All items are included in the share email
Sharing to an external email (non-ONE user)
A confirmation screen is shown
You can choose whether to grant access
If access is granted → All items included
If access is not granted → Only unrestricted and public items included
Permissions required
To grant access during list sharing, you must have the correct permissions assigned to your role (or be an Admin user).
Required permissions include:
Share List Permissions
Programme Management
Video Management
Without these, you won’t be able to grant access to restricted content during the sharing process.
Why this matters
Understanding these scenarios helps you:
Avoid accidentally sharing incomplete lists
Ensure recipients see the correct content
Maintain control over restricted and sensitive material
Confidently share content with external users
Tips
Always review the confirmation screen when sharing restricted content
Grant access carefully - especially for external recipients
Double-check your list contents before sending
Ensure your role includes the correct permissions to avoid limitations
